Devious Journal Entry

Journal Entry: Sat Oct 8, 2011, 9:43 AM
I'm writing this journal because I'm tired. Tired of hearing people say that I'm just a little girl whose parents are rich and have bought her the best camera and such.
Hello?
My camera is canon 1000d... is that the best one out there?! I really don't think so.
I spent a year working to gain money to be able  to buy my first reflex camera, which is the one I have now, and before that, I used to take pictures with my father's compact kodak. So really, don't accuse without knowing.

The other thing. Some people have told me to go to a psychiatric and take medicine because my mind is not right, because I take pictures which are cold, scary and sad. Well, I'm 15. What did you expect from an angsty teenager? Sometimes I do dark stuff, sometimes I do happy stuff. I've got teenager mood swings, is that wrong, really? And those who nkow my work from the beginning, I'm sure you've seen me go through the stages of puberty. I used to play a lot with blood, believe me. A LOT. Now I prefer doing other things. Sad, melancholic things, though I still have fun with bright colors. Those who critize me about this, haven't you ever been a teenager?

About the make-up. THE MAKE-UP IS REAL. If it isn't, then it's a PHOTOMANIPULATION and I put it under THAT category.
Such as this: some lines are real, but most of them aren't.
I love make-up, and I use the simplest things such as a red lipstick or paint. It isn't a big deal.
Also, THE FRECKLES ARE REAL.

And really, that's all. I'm an easy person. Sorry for this burst, but I had to clear unclear things that are being said.

I hope you are all doing great!

xx Cristina

I'm a bit late, but I want to state my position. I love your work. I think you have astonishing vision and I have seen your technique improve with every shot. I think your age is immaterial as you show such astonishing maturity in your work. The only way your age affects me is that I'm hugely older than you, so we're unlikely to be friends in the real world. Shame.

Stay true to yourself, Cristina, and never mind the haters.

Your friend in the virtual world,
Alain

Christina, you already have total freedom as an artist which most people never accomplish.

Compliments and criticisms are largely irrelevant because only you can truly judge your work. No one else in the world could create what you've done.

Enjoy the process. You're brilliant and an inspiration.

I wonder what this people would tell directors like James Wan.
But its somehow modern to think everthing which doesn't fit into the norm, has to be fixed. I mean ten years ago it was absolutly normal, that childrens ramped around and nobody said anythink, but nowadays this children are thought to be ill and have to be fixed by some sort of medicine (well its maybe a bit exagerated but not that far away from truth).
I love both, the shiney, colorfull "happy" art but also the darker, serious to sad or horrorful art. Live has also all of htis aspects, so why shouldn't art?

Sometimes you have to tell the world exactly what you are doing. Hopefully, they will get whatever it is you are trying to do and sometimes they won't. Don't be ashamed to SCREAM at them-metaphorically speaking. I read this somewhere, I want to say it came from a college catalog here it is "There a two types of photographers those who take pictures and those who make pictures." Again, I found this and do not hold any ownership of this statement. Hopefully, it helps you, even though you didn't ask for it. Anyways, the work is great you are very consistent with either submitting to Deviant and the Composition. Your work has a nice fluidity and at the same time each photo can hold on its own. Basically, simply you are awesome

Just ignore them. You are soooo above their comments. But if some comments are really bothering you, just ask that person what she/he has achieved themselves. And then you will be reminded again that you are light years ahead! :)
So keep up with the creativity, you are very talented!
